Zorc Defeated

"The warrior nailed him!", Vicki cheered.

"That'll show him!", Joey said.

"On this turn, the adventurers snuck up behind Zorc and the Dark Witch," Bakura narrated, "Therefore, they get extra attacks. Got it? Roll the dice."

"All right," Yami agreed.

"Let me take him down!", Tristan said, "Bakura, we agreed to play this game because we thought you were our friend. But, not only did you betray us, you turned us into this! I'll never forgive you in a million years! I'll put bullets in your brain, Zorc and Dark Witch!"

With that, Tristan shot Zorc and the Dark Witch in the side. Then Tèa used her magic on them. Finally, Yugi used his dragon against the Dark Witch and Poki against Zorc.

"What?! Again?! How can Yugi keep rolling criticals?", Vittoria exclaimed, "He's not doing anything special with his hands!"

"Scared, you two?", Joey taunted, "Yugi told you the answer. Our souls are channeled into Yugi's dice. When we get mad...the dice get angry!"

Once the smoke from all of the attacks cleared, it turned out that Zorc and the Dark Witch hadn't taken any damage.

"H-Hahahaha...Fools! You are still apprentices, Level one adventurers," Bakura told them, "You don't have enough experience to defeat Zorc and the Dark Witch!"

"But that's even after all those critical hits," Joey said.

"Th-then...there isn't any way for us to win," Yugi summed up.

"Are you calling me unfair? Cowardly, perhaps?," Bakura fired back, "As the 'Dark Master', I made everything in this game world. I am the rules! I am the monsters! I am God!"

The game was rigged so that we couldn't win from the start!, Yami thought.

"Now, continue the battle," Vittoria told them, "You can at least act out your deaths gracefully!"

Yugi...you think that you've stopped my run of criticals, Bakura thought, But, just like you, I have other ways...secret ways! I've sealed the soul of one of my host's former gaming friends into every one of these lead figures. Each miniature acts their part in the scenarios that I create. But, I'm not limited to lead figures. I can seal a soul into anything. That is the power of my Millennium Ring!

"You've had your turn - Now Zorc and the Dark Witch get theirs," Bakura told him, "They turn their full wrath on the adventurers. Dance, Soul Dice!"

Zorc and the Dark Witch hit the adventurers with the super-critical Dark Catastrophe attack.

"Zorc and the Dark Witch's magical attack has the power to kill characters with more than fifty hit points in an instant. All of the player characters are dead," Bakura explained,

Well then, it's probably pointless but, I'll calculate each character's status on the computer. There are so many variables in this game, it's safest to let the computer crunch all the data, Bakura thought, What?! They still each have one hit point left?! That can't be! Something's gone wrong!

"You made it!", Yami told the adventurers.

I knew it! I knew they'd be okay...and my other soul couldn't be dead!, Yami thought, Even when our souls are separated, we're never apart. If my other soul died, my soul would die, too. The game isn't over yet!

How? How did they?, Vittoria thought, noticing something, What?!

"'Kura, your left hand is typing by itself!", She told him.

I am Ryou Bakura. I won't let you kill my friends. I'll fight too, appeared on the screen of the computer.

Ryou...I locked my host's soul deep down. How did his consciousness come to the surface?, Bakura thought, Could it be? My own soul is linked to the Zorc miniature in the game world. But Zorc was hit in the left side when the adventurers caught him off-guard. It's impossible...but it's real! Ryou is controlling my left hand.
